9. 9 South African Radar Interest Group (SARIG) Established 2008 Comprises all role players as listed Under the auspices of AMD AIM: “The South African Radar Interest Group is responsible for dealing with issues relating to the interests and advancement of Radar and radar-related development in South Africa. This includes, but is not limited to, tertiary education, continuous education and industrial co- operation.”

10. 10 SARIG TECHNOLOGY FOCUS SARIG HAS DECIDED to: Support the AWARENET Concept as developed by F. Anderson of DPSS as a focus area of radar technology and co-operation Actively participate in the establishment of post graduate education at universities (2011) Ensure that the limited resources in the country are utilised optimally in the greater national interests.

11. FUTURE POSSIBILITIES OF CO- OPERATION - EW New Missile Approach Warning System (MAWS) for airborne platforms Self protection systems for high value assets Development of novel intercept techniques and advanced ECM hardware (e.g. Enigma) Participation in AWARENET

12. 12 THE ROAD AHEAD Continued collaboration is key (Industry) Post-graduate research in Radar & EW Continuation with relevant product solutions; serving and making the client

13. 13 SUMMARY Good understanding of sensors is critical in what we do We have a growing Radar and EW capability and this can/will lead to marketable products where necessary. DoD supports Radar and EW military related initiatives– both acquisition and technology development

14. 14 SUMMARY (cont) SARIG brings balance and strengthens participation from different quarters. ALL Stakeholders have a pivotal role to play in the radar and EW capability going into the future, if it is maintained

15. CONCLUSION WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK!!! 15
